I have been asked for a book used by architects in restoration work, it is regarded by professionals in that field as "their bible". Presumably it gives correct styles for period buildings. My only information is that it's red and was mentioned in a television programme.

I really didn't think that people asked for books by colour any more, that's how much I know.

Can anyone help with this vaguest of queries?

Thank you in anticipation.
